| Flew my new DX7 this morning with my Sceadu EVO 50. The range checked out to 100 paces beyond which I couldn't see well enough to know if it was still working or not. This was following the written procedure.
I have been flying a spektrumized 6102 thanks to Hilgert. When I set-up the new radio I copied everything from the 6102 including the trims. When I actually flew the Evo, I foundt that I needed to add one more click of trim on the DX7 than on the 6102. In other words, if I had one click of right cyclic on the 6102, I had to add one more click on the DX7. I don't know what this really means in terms of what is going on inside the radio.
I was surprised by how much more responsive heli is with the new radio. I assume that's the resolution. It took a little getting used to, and I even considered adding more expo, but decided I'd just get used to it.
I'm not thrilled with the lack of a throttle cut, though the throttle recovery function does work well if I can get used to it.
I'm not thrilled with the trainer rocker arm position either, but I don't use it that often anyway.
I love the countdown timer, simple but effective.
All in all, I'm thrilled with the new radio. It looks fine and feels great. I'll not go back to 72mHz, unless I'm flying someone else's plane. I won't recommend the DX7 in my shop because it'll cut down on a large percentage of crashes, which will cut into our profits...just kidding...

)and I liked the way it felt. I had on my 9c extra rubber grips on the back that I may get and see if they will fit because I really got used to that feel. pics are of my old 9c
